Description
Scarce Type Two 1857 Three Cent Silver, PR66
1857 3CS PR66 NGC. Ex: Pittman. Pre-1858 proof three cent
silver is rare. Akers in 1997 estimated that only 40 to 50 proof
1857 three cent silvers are known. The flashy mirrors and
razor-sharp strike of the present specimen leaves no doubt
concerning its status as a proof. The outlines of the shield are
fully brought up, as are the centers of each tiny star that adorns
the reverse margin. Attractively toned with delicate autumn-gold
and deep blue on the obverse, while the reverse is peach aside from
a brilliant-lilac center. Flawless except for a couple of trivial
mint-made strike-throughs on the Roman numerals. Census: 5 in 66, 3
finer (9/09).Ex: 91st Sale, Barney Bluestone, 2/1946; John Jay Pittman Collection, Part One (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 407.(Registry values: N7079)
